Hi Alex,
> have you started yet?
>
I started on January 28.> is it pretty full on after not having had a job for a while?
>
It's real full on, just getting out of bed early enough to get to work on time is hard.> a bit of a shock?
>
Definitely a shock, I had a few short term temp jobs, but hadn't worked a fulltime job in over a year.> are the people okay?
>
Assuming I'm reading them right they all seem real nice. I've gotten "welcome" and "you're doing a good job" emails which make me feel like I am actually wanted and appreciated. I have major scars left from my last job where they obviously hated me and I didn't see it until they fired me.> do you have far to commute?

It's about a 20 minute drive, while it's cold out I'm paying for parking in a covered structure that's a block away from the office. When it's warmer I'll probably do a much cheaper lot about a 15 minute walk to the office.> do you have a uniform?
>
No, "business casual" so a nice pair of slacks and a sweater is okay.> what do you eat for lunch??
I'm bringing my lunch, so far it's been salads or frozen microwavable meals. There's lots of food there: left overs from attorney conferences end up in the kitchen area on my floor. I'm the thinnest one in my department so they're like "you're skinny" eat. I am not skinny.Poet
